Unofficial Guide to Ethical Hacking

Hey iam fairly new to hacking and looking for some good books to read to get better at it and more informed so far i have read; The unoffical guide to ethical hacking, Steal this computer book 2, Web Hacking attacks&defenses, and Hacking Truths 3rd edition. I have a pretty good computer knowledge i think but my knowledge of the internet may not be that good. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

I just got started reading The Unofficial Guide to Ethical Hacking. I'm only about 4 chapters into it, and so far I'm not impressed. He's really spelling out things that anyone who has even touched a computer should already know.

Read Hacking Exposed instead, it's a much better book.
